Get White Boy Drunk: Is That Racist?

White Boy Drunk: Racist or Not?


  • Total voters

Racist comments? Of course not. Referring to a black man as boy isn't neccessarily racist.

If you have a mail clerk that is in his early 20's, then yes, he's a boy and there's no racism.

a younger white man refering to an older black man as "boy", is racism.

a white man refering to a black man of the same age as "boy", is racism.

honestly, I can think of only one reason why a white man would ever call a black male "boy", and that's to express his feelings of racism & white supremacy.

Open your eyes a little, then. You're a white man trying to tell a black man when he should and shouldn't be offended. How in the hell could you possibly know whether or not they should or shouldn't be offended? Who the hell are you to decide whether or not that word should have any power over them?
 
I was watching Bridezillas on TV and this black couple had just gotten married and was asked in interview what you want to do now? The black groom replied get white boy drunk. Do you feel that is racist or not?

I do not cause he did not seem to say it in hate and there is that whole song about getting white boy crazy. What do you think? One my white friends say it was racist but she said the Bridezilla was lucky he showed up at all.

Most racial comments do not rise to the level of racism, I think that includes this one.
 
Why do you insist upon giving power to words to cause harm? Do you have some sort of fetish with creating a bunch of taboo phrases and words? Is your life that boring that you need to create a reason for people to respond to nonsense? If a group of people have collectively decided that "boy" isn't a racist dig for them why would you keep insisting that it be viewed that way? I used to work with a black man who, when I'd make a silly comment, would say, "Girl, you be trippin'." My response was always, "Boy, you just don't recognize the freshness". He damned well knew that "boy" was not a means of challenging him as inferior because of the color of his skin. But had you been there you'd have been screaming in his ear that I'm a racist hate-monger and why isn't he mad as hell at me for being such an ignorant racist.

In other words, why don't you stop speaking for people and creating racism for no other reason than you want it to be there? If the only two black contributors to this thread say they aren't bothered by the term then why are you, as a white man, going to tell them they're wrong?

Because black folks are stupid and need white Libbos to tell us the difference between right and wrong.

Well, I mean obviously you aren't capable of determining whether or not somebody is treating you badly without somebody else stepping in. Where would you be without the protection of the boy who cried racism?

How miserable your life must be, what with all that racism surrounding you. :lamo

That's exactly right. If it weren't for the Libbos, black folks would really be up crit sheek.

Side note: that reminds me of my northern relatives who always called a "creek" a "crick". Damned yankees.
 
Black men don't have to worry about it. Black boys are usually the idiots that are offended by it.

I'll let all the black men at my work know, that they have no reason to be offended when a white person calls them "boy".
 
What happens if the reverse was true and it was a white couple making a very similar comment about a black person?

I think this is the ONLY reason why the ones who voted 'yes', think it's racist.
 
Let's put it this way, if a white person said "get black boy drunk", heads would roll. Yes, it's somewhat racist... that color was used as a descriptor at all shows some racial element. Why not use "get ___(persons name)___ drunk"? The statement wasn't as racist as say "get cracker boy drunk" or some other derivative...
If someone said "black boy drunk" people would be think 5 shots of some good stuff. Everyone knows crazy white people party hard and "white boy drunk" is another way of saying "drunk as a skunk."

Do that and if they don't get it, tell them I said they're all a bunch of dumbass jiggaboos and they're too stupid to have a white collar job.

Might let them know the same thing when a black man calls them boy or nigger. Might also want to let them know that maybe its time to ACT like men and stop sweating the bull****. Or...you know...conversely to be just as upset when a black man says 'goddamit white boy' ...or some other commonly used slang.

Its tiresoeme. The cheese is old and moldy. Y U so mad bro?
 
No, just funny. I am not wound that tight.
 
If it is racist one way, then it is racist the other way too.
That's not true...at all. There are different racial epithets for each race. Calling a white man nigger is not the same thing as calling a black man nigger. The idea racist words are the same for each race is nonsensical.

Isn't the intent in those cases to be racist?
 
Am I the only one in this thread who understands relativity? I see one group of people saying "this is absolutely racist" and another group saying "this is not at all racist, why are you making things up?" You're both wrong. White men calling black men "boy" has a history of racism, some people still use the term in a racist way and some people still perceive the term to be a racist one. Others don't. It's relative. This whole "you're right, you're wrong" is dumb as hell because it depends on the person using it and hearing it.

Not necessarily. But my point is that "if it's racist one way, it's racist the other way" is a false statement because the same word can have different meanings depending on the race of the person it's being said to.

Really? Please cite some cases where people are calling each other racially offenses names without being racist.

The only reason ANY of it has any relevance is because we still play the stupid "dangit I got my ass all butthurt" game. Real racism exists. Real idiots are out there. Want to empower the idiots? Give them a ****ing stage. White race baiters and black race baiters have made CAREERS doing this kida crap. And their stupid games play right into the hands of apologists that want to show how wonderful and sensitive they are. Worried about WORDS? Hell son...worry about jobs...worry about 9 year old prositutes. Worry about 27% unemployment rates in some cities. Worry about violence and crime. Words? Still? Seriously???

Yes...please...by all means...play some Foreigner or some Black Cherry and get 'White Boy Drunk' to the sounds of "Dirty White Boy" and "Play that Funky Music White Boy"...and any that is upset by someone calling them a name...please go to WalMart, buy a life, and join us here in 2011.

Listen to rap music once in a while. Hang out with young people once in a while.

You think that's them just trying to be "gangstas from the 'hood". You know, just acting cool, rebellious and what not?

If Rick Perry went out on stage and yelled "Wassup all you niggaz?!" do you think everyone would think it was okay? That he was just being hip?

Black people call each other 'nigger' all the time.
